In the last few months, our cyberspace (social media pages) has been awash with news of men being several abused by their wives.
Let’s not pretend these things ain’t happening.

Some men are experiencing emotional😭 or physical abuse but are too ashamed to let it out. From the Lowo in Ibadan’s case to the Nigerian girl in India who allegedly killed her fiancé now this �🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽and more people dying through acts of domestic violence than is made public.

Domestic violence is real!
Violence is a two way traffic, women get violent too; Both genders are both perpetrators and victims. Let’s stop living in denial.

Marriage isn’t a do or die affair!

No one will get to heaven because they remained married and in an abusive relationship at that…
Neither will anyone miss heaven for remaining single/unmarried!
Couples should know that anger is more destructive than war.
Separate for a couple of months, if this will save life.
Because the law will always take its course and the innocent😇 children from the union will become stranded!
The children may even get taunted and ostracized for having parents who committed murder and the other imprisoned.

Stop✋ managing abusive partners.
Mental health issues are real and we should address them. We should pay attention to such important social issues.

Today more than ever, there is a prevalence in the rate of battered men out there. This has nothing to do with race or class. Rather, hate mixed in anger unleashed with time.
